Manchester United are closing in on their first two signings of the summer transfer window after agreeing deals to bring both Tyrell Malacia and Frenkie de Jong to Old Trafford.
The Manchester Evening News understands that United have agreed fees with both Feyenoord and Barcelona, respectively, to bring the duo to Old Trafford. They hope to have both deals wrapped up in time for both players to feature in the club's pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia.
United — who will fly out to Thailand on July 8 — have been tracking De Jong for around seven weeks and talks have been ongoing with Barcelona for most of that period. They have struggled to agree on a transfer fee for the Netherlands international, but it is understood that they have finally reached a settlement over a €65million (£56.14m) price tag, plus add-ons.
